Absolute Computrace for Endpoint Security

Computers and ultra-portable devices can be remotely managed and secured to ensure – and most importantly prove – that endpoint IT compliance processes are properly implemented and enforced.

Absolute Computrace allows organizations to centrally track and secure all of their endpoints within a single cloud-based console.

Computrace provides foundational support for all activities related to Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) for the endpoint.

The Computrace Agent is automatically installed so that IT Administrators can track, manage, and secure all devices regardless of user or location

Mobility is Accelerating Data Breaches

“Coca-Cola laptop theft could have compromised info for 74,000.” – Jan 27 Jan 2014

“Laptop stolen with health information of 620,000 Albertans.” – 22 Jan 2014

“Unencrypted Laptops Lead to Mega-Breach - Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield Reveals Incident.”– 9 Dec 2013

“Laptop thefts compromise 729,000 hospital patient files at AHMC Healthcare.” – 21 Oct 2013

GRC for the Endpoint

Computrace provides foundational support for all activities related to GRC for the endpoint including:

• Proactive alerts on predefined conditions• Data security & protection• Deployment & licensing audits

• BYOD policy enforcement• Theft & criminal investigations• Security incident response & remediation• Computer forensics• Compliance reports & certificates

• End-of-life protocols• 12 months of device history

Endpoint GRC Risk Factors

• The endpoint represents a significant point of risk relative to GRC– Non-Compliance

• Software license agreements• Blacklisted programs• Government and vertically-specific regulatory bodies

• End-of-life protocols

– Data Security• Unauthorized user access

• Industrial espionage• Intellectual property• Encryption failure

• Personally identifiable information

– Employee Misconduct• Dishonest or criminal activities by employees

• Non-compliant behavior

• Endpoint-specific GRC protocols can be implemented to mitigate the risk

Absolute Computrace – Feature Categories

Asset Administration

Collect incredibly accurate and comprehensive information from each device. Then create customized policies and alerts to be notified as soon as an unauthorized change is detected.

Data & Device Security

Remotely delete sensitive data on missing computers including an audit log of the deleted files to prove the data was removed from the device. Freeze a device with a custom message to the user. Access and retrieve files regardless of location.

Geotechnology

Track assets on an internet map including current and historical locations. Build geofences to contain a device and receive an alert if it strays. If a device is not where it should be, investigate and determine if further action is required.

Absolute Computrace – Feature Categories

Computer Forensics

The Absolute Investigations & Recovery team can forensically mine a stolen computer over the internet using key captures, registry and file scanning, geolocation, and other investigative techniques to determine who has the computer and what they’re doing with it, including whether any data was accessed post-theft.

Theft Recovery

At our customer’s request, the Absolute Investigations & Recovery team will work closely with local police to recover a stolen device. We successfully recover thousands of devices each year.

Geotechnology

• Geolocation – GPS & Wi-Fi• Geofencing

GRC for the Endpoint with Computrace

GRC provides an organization with the infrastructure to create rules, oversee the application of the rules, provisioning of tools to take action to stay within the rules, and finally the data to prove that they followed the rules and are indeed compliant.

Governance = Infrastructure = Customer CenterManagement of the process to monitor, direct, and control

Risk Management = Tools = Computrace FeaturesManagement of the process to monitor, direct, and control

Compliance= Data = Computrace Data & ReportsConform to internal and external regulations, must be provable

GRC Infrastructure: Customer Center

• Use Customer Center to identify activity or device status deemed suspicious

• Receive alerts if any of these conditions occur for proactive response times

• Computrace data flags potential non-compliance:

GRC Tools: Computrace Features

Risk Management = Tools = Computrace FeaturesManagement of the process to monitor, direct, and control

• Track software licenses

• Receive alerts to be notified about suspicious behavior

• Remotely recover or delete data from a device

• Freeze a device to block access

• Remove all data from a device at end-of-life

• technology to brick or lock a device

• Track the location of a device

• Use geofences to monitor device movement

• Investigate and recover stolen devices

• Initiate an investigation to determine why a security incident occurred and prevent it from happening again

• Investigate suspicious employee behavior

• Identify security holes• Prevent incidents from

happening again

GRC Data: Computrace Device Data

• Use Computrace data to prove compliance with corporate and government regulations:– Software license compliance report for contract negotiations and audits– Encryption status report to show which devices were properly protected

with encryption– End-of-Life data delete certificate– Data delete audit log

– Proof if data was accessed post-incident

Compliance= Data = Computrace Data & ReportsConform to internal and external regulations, must be provable
